a month ago i sent a letter to the us branch about 607. my purpose for sending it was because i wanted to show to my parents through the letters the truth behind the date system.
two days ago, i received a response from them.
i think this is gonna be the first of many.
Scholar
Certainly 586/587 BCE for the destruction of Jerusalem is well accepted by scholars worldwide. Why do you think this is the case? Are there people in academia out there trying to hide the truth? Do you know of any scholars without Watchtower affiliation that support 607 BCE? What non-biblical evidence do such scholars cite to support 607?
i admit to not being very well informed about the watchtower's view on blood transfusions.
i have a couple of questions that i hope someone here is able to answer.. i understand that the watchtower now considers it to be okay to receive blood fractions.. my first question is: are all fractions considered to be permissible?
and if not, specifically which fractions are not permissible?.
And yet the anointed have no qualms drinking "blood" every year on the 14th of Nisan.
Yes, I know it is symbolic.....just like the water was to David.
You have no argument.
Why not answer real questions...like why the Watchtower does not stop mothers from nursing their babies or Christians from receiving organ transplants?
The GB/F&DS blood policies make no sense.

The David account is irrelevant to the discussion. It was water not blood that David refused because the men who brought it to him risked their lives to get it. Nothing about the subject at hand.
So again, why are organ transplants allowed by the WTS when they know millions of white blood cells are transferred with each transplant?

Alex,,,you seem to have a hard time answering specific questions, instead you provide outdated answers to questions nobody asked.
I'll reduce my 3 questions to just one
How can the WTS allow organ transplants when millions of white blood cells are transferred with every transplant?
Please explain.
i had gotten a phone call from a brother who was really upset.
he said there was a resolution passed that everyone is in agreement to the selling of the elmira hall.
the strange thing is at the congregation picnic an elder told him that a few years ago the deed to the hall was signed over to the org.
Money to go to the global assistance program. Could it be to assist the WTS global chid sex abuse cases.

Yes ...but today, why is plasma banned by the WT and organ transplants not?
And why are JW mothers not prohibited from nursing their babies?

Hi Alex,
Why does the WTS ban plasma when all the components of plasma (water, albumin, proteins) are on the acceptable list?
And why does the WTS allow organ transplants which result in the transfer of millions of white blood cells?
Call me curious.

Defying logic
Every component of blood plasma is on the WT acceptable list, yet plasma is outlawed by the org. Raymond Franz likens it to saying you can eat mayo, cheese, lettuce and bread, but you cannot eat a cheese sandwich
White blood cells are banned, but these are found in the millions in a mother's milk. Also, most white blood cells are found in organ tissue, not in the blood itself. Each organ transplant, permitted by the society since 1980, necessitates the transfer of millions of white blood cells.
Where is the logic in that?
its taken from 1 thessalonians 4:13-17. now jesus compared the end to the days of noah .
but as the days of noah were, so shall also the coming of the son of man be.
why did he compare the two and does it give us a clue to which teaching is the right one?.
As I see it the distinction as to who will be with Christ in heaven and those who will have opportunity to live on the new earth is revealed in John 5:28-29
"Do not be amazed at this, for the time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and shall come forth, they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life, and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. "
During the millennial judgement those of the first resurrection rule with Christ with a rod of iron over the nations bringing all into sanctification. Then heaven will descend to earth, Israel restored and mankind delivered to perfection.
That's the way i see it.

Now that makes sense. Thank you!
